I think he means Kent Beck's book.

> I've seen posts with 3pts get into the Top 10 for whatever reason I always thought it was to inject more freshness into the front page, and that certain 'authentic' users (no sin…

But let's not forget that schema-less databases are often marketed as noSQL, so typing sql (quicker on phone) should be acceptable imo.

Why does the colour matter? Indians are varied in colour. I took the extra information to be a point of reference with regards to the reward of $10,080: that is a hefty sum for loc…

> we're not all xenophobic Trump supporters, not even most of us. Please, leave your virtue-signalling to reddit. We come here for a break from the partisan poo-throwing. As an asi…

I've still to meet a person who listens to podcasts. And I know a few techies here in Sydney. Might be more of an American thing? Not sure.

There will be community-driven pattern sharing. If a pattern gets 3 'plus' votes, it goes to a mod/admin who approves it for distribution to everyone. I don't mind ads though. Stat…

I'm wondering the same. Of you look at the books being listed in this thread, though, it's apparent there is little fiction or other material to truly savour: everything is skim-fr…

An opinionated framework allows you to just get on with things! Like with programming. Finally deciding on a JS stack is one of the best feelings you'll have. The terror of even di…

Fasting != intermittent fasting. You're not abstaining for weeks. A meal can take take 24 hours or longer to digest (especially when it's a 'feast'). It's not unusual for people to…

Why is storage an issue? With databases, for example, you store data upstream (on the host) and keep the dockerised app/thing mostly stateless, or at least capped with regards to s…

It's not about sync vs async. It's about performance. People who take up pomodoro-type work tracking are surprised at how hard it is sometimes to get 25 minutes of work done. I kno…

Maybe they mean, less ad impressions => less revenue => dwindling IT budget => slower server?

Pick a spot where it's hard to be objectively productive, e.g. on the elliptical at the gym (hard to code), or train (uncomfortable if packed train, too much stimulus). Read there.…

Oh, it has proper Virtual DOM now? I'll have to check it out. We've been using React for a Web app that needs to render and completely re-render (new columns etc.) lots of data - n…

As somebody who previously was in charge of a large (tens of thousands of staff) finance company's Asia Pacific IT workforce, I looked at dozens of Filipino CVs for new remote hire…

There are so many versions of jquery, and so many cdns, that most likely 70-90% of visitors don't have your specified jquery file cached. So yes, I believe it does matter. Jquery i…

But doesn't meditation impede that little thought machine that runs in most programmers' heads? What has put me off meditation a little bit was reports of people no longer getting …

Especially considering this is consistent with not identifying the device beyond headers sent etc. and you can't just use an IP address to map the timezone as it may be shared at t…

They can analyse the frames in a timeline and skip ahead for changes, also analysing the audio file for transients. In fact, what's to stop them just watching on 4x speed?

Did you read the article? It seems like they are providing data on the stories people clicked, and at what time, so you can draw temporal and recommendation hypotheses. Some device…

Large companies have used this because, like Ractive, with which it kind of competes, you can produce something very quickly (Ractive was initially developed for internal news room…
